Maser emission (radio analogue of lasers) arises naturally in the dense gas surrounding young, large stars. Studying many types of masers towards lots of sources will allow us to uncover the precise stages of star formation that each maser species is tracing. Such a timeline promises to be an important tool in determining how these big stars form.

Maser发射（激光的无线电类似物）自然出现在年轻的大型恒星周围的密集气体中。研究多种类型的Masers向许多来源进行研究，将使我们能够发现每个Maser物种都在追踪的恒星形成的精确阶段。这样的时间表有望成为确定这些大恒星如何形成的重要工具。
